Evidently, Fox “News” didn’t get Grover’s memo.
“The one-paragraph explanation of what we’re doing in Iraq has
to have the word ‘leaving’ in there,” said Grover Norquist,
a conservative leader and the head of Americans for Tax Reform. “If
Bush would move to ‘leaving,’ then other people, including the
MoveOn.org people and the [Democrats], move to a more extreme position than
you have, because they have put themselves in the anti-Bush position.”
This is incredible. Fox “News” pimping a Patton parody video on YouTube

I’d share it.
So next time you hear “fair and balanced” you’ll know precisely what
that means. Paraphrasing what Cenk of The Young Turks wrote in
a post, it’s all editorializing all the time. It’s just one of the reasons
I’ve had “news” in quotes for months and months, whenever I talk about
Fox.

to defeat the Nazis on the eve of the Allied invasion of France — this
version features the voice of comedian Mike Kaminski delivering a Patton-like
explanation of why the U.S. is fighting in Iraq, Afghanistan, against Al Qaeda,
and the danger posed by an Iran possessing nuclear weapons.Click here to view the video on YouTube. … ..
